After a prolonged hiatus, Tollywood director Meher Ramesh is making a comeback through a new movie titled Bholaa Shankar. Chiranjeevi has given him an opportunity to direct, and the film is all set to hit screens worldwide this Friday.
However, a wave of discontent has swept over many individuals due to the comments made by the Telugu director regarding the source of inspiration for Bholaa Shankar. In a recent interview, the director expressed his perception of Vedalam as being cringeworthy, emphasizing its cringeworthy nature. He also highlighted making several alterations to better suit the preferences of Telugu audiences.
These remarks have ignited a firestorm of controversy online, with countless Ajith fans and Tamilians taking to Twitter to criticize the director’s stance. They questioned the rationale behind remaking the movie in Telugu if he held such a negative opinion of it. Meanwhile, the director himself has maintained silence, potentially unaware of the tumult created by his words.
This scenario could potentially cast a shadow over the film’s release in Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is enthusiastically promoting the movie, asserting that it will match the level of entertainment delivered by Waltair Veerayya, which premiered in theaters in January.
Apart from Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah Bhatia plays the female lead, and Keerthy Suresh portrays the role of the megastar’s sister. Several accomplished actors also assume significant roles in this action-packed drama, complemented by the musical compositions of Mahati Swara Sagar. Nonetheless, the promotional content unveiled thus far has fallen short of meeting expectations. The outcome at the box office remains uncertain, typically contingent on Chiranjeevi’s star power.
